I think, my first A500 has still got its '010 inside - in my memory it was like 0-3% faster, in synthetic benchmarks you could read 20%.

I gained quite a bit more by replacing the system clock with a 32 MHz crystal :lol: - my very first overclocking job, 11% faster. My Profex/Philips monitor whined quite a bit about the increased horizontal frequency - but even the blitter was faster. No that I think about it: it probably was the fastest Amiga blitter ever (outside C=).  :-D

The 68010 is a little more useful these days, not because of speed, but because of its VBR, which many WHDLoad installs take advantage of.


Yes, exactly! I was wondering why I kept it in the A500 - that's it. With fast RAM and heavily loaded chip RAM that does make a difference!
